Abstract:A superhydrophobic coating on wood can effectively improve the hydrophobicity and service life of wood. In this study, an Al superhydrophobic nano-coating was constructed on the transversal section of poplar wood by magnetron sputtering based on glow-discharge plasma. The structure, microscopic morphology, surface elements, and hydrophobic properties were characterized and tested. When coated for 20 s, the water contact angle on the sample surface can reach 148.9°. When coated for 30 min, the Al-coated wood ha… Show more
